The Atlanta Fringe Art Festival, dedicated to providing an accessible, unjuried, and uncensored outlet for artists, has announced the lineup for their 8th annual festival, taking place June 1-7 in and around Little Five Points.
The lineup includes 25 artist groups from eleven states (ten artists from Georgia), Canada, and the Netherlands, from dancers and comedians to storytellers and clowns, and more. The live shows, which cover a wide theatrical spectrum of avant-garde dance, sketch comedy, performance art, and more, will take place at four venues: 7 Stages, The Marianna at Wrecking Bar Brewpub, Neighborhood Church, and the International Montessori Academy.

“In a word, we’re overwhelmed,” said Executive Director Diana Brown in an emailed statement. “To see this kind of response from the global theatre community is really something special. We’re so protective of our reputation as a festival that treats its artists well, that’s worth it for touring artists to visit, and we love how that enables us to bring such diverse, incredible talent to Atlanta. And we’re still having fun with it, still adding new features, so that even people who have been with us since Year Once will find something new to enjoy at the festival.”
